Album Notes & Community Reviews

Uniting two generations of electronic pioneers, this collaborative album was recorded in Bolinas, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Suzanne Ciani, a foundational figure in modular synthesis, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, a rising star of the modern Buchla renaissance, craft a mesmerizing, slowly unfolding ambient suite. The project serves as a beautiful intergenerational dialogue between two masters of the Buchla synthesizer.
